eray's Latest Invention.

A wonderful account of tie telauto-
graph of Elisha Gray, the electrician.
is brought from Paris. The principle
Of the device is analogous to that Of
the telephone, and consists, briefly, Of
. plaque on which is laid the paper for
writing the message. As the writing
is done the plaque vibrates under the
pressure of the instrument used, which
may be pen, a pencil or any other
pointed article, and ssimilar instru-
ment at the other end Of the line act
ing synchronously, reproduces exactly
what Is written at the station Of trans
mission. so that not only the words of
the telegram but the reproduced writ
ing of the sender will be put into the
hands of the receiver. The advantages
are SO apparent that tits hardly neces-
sary to name them. The telautograph
is nearly finished, and it remains to be
seen whether it will, in actual use,
prove equal to the claims its inventor
makes for it.-Sprinqfeld Republican,

Trying Circumstances
One Of the Bixby children was
seized with a fit Of Group the other
night Bixby heard the little fellows
labored breathing, and bounding clear
over the foot-board Of the bed, yelled
out ..'Croup!" in about the same voice
that the escaped idiot yells Sire" at
the theater. @
Then he tried {, put his trousers on
over his head. but finally got them on
wrong side out, and tore into his shirt
with it wrong side in front. # 'saf
"Jump!'' he screamed to his wife,
''there isn't a second to lose! Get the
sirup of squills! Put on q tub Of hot
water! Give him something to drink!
Get hot flannels on his chest Instantly! |!
Hurry! hurry! Don't lie there doing
nothing while the child is choking to
death! Fly aroundr'
Mrs. Bixby is one Of those meek but
eminently sensible and practical little
women who never get tenth part of
tho credit for the good they do in this
world. While Bixby was racing up
and down stairs. declaring that no
body was doing any thing but himself,
Mrs. Bixby quietly took the little
sufferer in hand. -
':Do something quickr' screeched
Bixby. as he upset pan of hot water
on the bed and turned q saucer of
melted lard over on the dressing-case.
''Here. somebody, quick!" he yelled.
Cant anybody do a thing but mep
Run for the doctor, some of you. Give
the child some more squills. Is there
any thing hot at his feetP Give him
aconite! He ought to have spoon of
oil It he don't get relief instantly
he'll die, and here there's nobody
trying to do a thing but me! Bring
him some warm water with a little
soda in it. He ought to have been put
into hot bath an hour ago. Heat up
the bathroom! What's on his chestP
Great heavens! has the child got to die
because no one will do thing for
himP"
Mrs. Bixby quietly and unaided
brings the child around all right, and
sits with him until daylight, after
she has quieted Bixby down and got
him to bed.
And next morning he has the gall to
say at the Office:
"one of my little chaps nearly died
with Group last night, and had
mighty hard work bringing him
around all right but did, after work
ing like Trojan all night. It's a
terrible disease. and scares women
nearly to death. They fly all to
pieces right off A person wants their
wits about them. You want to keep
perfectly cool and not fool away sec
ond in Mysteries. That's where man
has the advantage over woman in
managing case of Group. It's mighty
lucky I was at home to take my little

Iudlan War Claims Bill.

Before this issue of our paper has reached the
homes of many of our patrons, the 49th Con-
gress of the United States will have become q
matter of history. With the close of its last
sion ends, for the present at least. the hopes Of
the passage of Floridas Indian War Claim Bill,
which would have brought into the State
treasury over 100000, besides settling in full all
outstanding claims held by the United States
against the State. Messrs. Davidson and
Dougherty did their full duty in securing the
passage of this claim through the House of
Representatives but in the Senate, where every
one thought that Roopposition would be raised,
or at least none but what could easily be ex-
planned away, the claim received an unexpected
set back ; .-
We have been informed that even the Senate
Committee on Claims had no objection to the
bill, and referred the matter TO subcommittee
selected by Senator Call and Congressman
Dougherty. This sdb .eommttee,c consisting Of
only one, namely Senator Jones. Of Arkansas,
who every one thought was favorable to the
measure, UNEXPECTEDLY discovered that there
were many serious objections 10 the claim of the
State. E.
Governor Perry, who was there in person to
do all he could to secure its passage, met every
objection that the Senator raised, and was sur
prised himself when the report was printed, and
heimmediately took steps to counteract the effect
this report would have upon the Senate but want
of time and the great press of business now, how
ever, will in all probability prevent any further
confederation of the bill and the claim is killed
for thr present.
In the selection of the sub committee our 81 ate
was singularly unfortunate, but we cannot sec
that any one was TO blame for 1t. Those who 60
lected Senator Jones as the subcommittee were
certainly deceived as to what bis opinion would
be upon the claim, and Florida has only the
more cause to be careful In entrusting any Of her
interests to persons of that name.

The F1oridiau Not i'm trror.

The FLoRID1AN answers our query about the
Okeechobee Drainage Land Grant, assuring us that
ton of the reclaimed lands as they entitled to
under the contract-GIf Vieac.
And the report of the committee appointed by
Gov Perry to investigate assures US that the
FLoRIDIAN was in error The grant was for
l 200, 900 acres the number OF acres reclaimed
was only $4,000, and the committee in their re-
port are not positively certain that even that
amount was absolutely reclaimed WdkuIIa
Times.
Our Crawfordville contemporary had
better refer to the FLoRIDIAN's article
and see what we actually did say, and
base it's comments on that rather than on
the paragraph from the Gulf Vieso. The
result would be as usual-an entire fail
ure to convict the FLoRIDIAN of error"
for we made no erroneous statement. We
said that the inspecting engineers last
report was made on the 2eth November,
1884, which [report] showed that the
Company had reclaimed and rendered fit
for cultivation 2,4l6,sl3 l6-lOO acres.
Under the contract they were TO receive
deeds for one-half of the land they re-
claimed and the trustees, after exercising
every properprecaution in getting reliable
information on the subject conveyed to the
company in all 1,l74,942 acres" This
is simply matter of fact and record, and
now we are led to remark that our young
contemporary should bear in mind that
fairness to other journals and accuracy
in bis own, are golden rules of journalism
which are essential to respectability, il
not to financial success.
